there are only minor changes in the code, it works like the beta 1:
- For an update of the list of albums/pictures press the context menu button ('c' on keyboard). Temporarily I added an indication label while updating - this wont be needed in the stable version.

One suggestion I could make about the skin is to place the infolabels and the label background textures outside of the actual container. By doing this it will make only the pictures scroll, while the labels remain in place while scrolling. When not scrolling the labels will look exactly the same, but it makes the whole experience while scrolling smoother and calmer.

When placing the label outside of the list you can use:

<label>$INFO[Container(100).ListItem(0).Label]</label>

Just a suggestion, keep up the good work

Hi Jeroen,

thanks for your comment - I will think about this

You have definitly more skinning knowlage then me, perhaps you can answer me two Questions:
1. Do you see any possibility to have any kind of scrolling or animation when switching the sources (with up and down)?
2. the same with entering an album and going back...

I'm afraid not. The only way I think would be by using multiple containers, so you could do an animation on exiting one container and another animation on the one being opened. But that would be very inefficient code-wise on the skin and the add-on itself. If XBMC would allow having more than 1 active container I think it would be easier, but it can't unfortunately.

Hi,

I am not sure that i can fully understand your request
At the moment you can show/hide all the text. I could change this behaviour to the following:
Switch with the info key through these modes:
1. Show Header (Sourcetitle, Album/Picturetitle, x/y pictures/albums) + Descritption + Pic
2. Show Header + Pic
3. Show only Pic
(after that back to 1)

Hi Sphere!
Let me try to explain. With the reFocus skin, I cannot get rid of the bottom info screen when viewing an album. Pressing the info button does not work. Actually, no button on my MCE remote will hide the info.

Hi,

which version of my addon are you using? The Beta from my googlecode site or the stable from the official repo?

I'm wondering that this doesn't work - you should be able with both version to hide all the text with the info-key.

Can you please try it with confluence and give me feedback?
I will try with reFocus tomorrow (I'm not at home atm).
